A whole zoo of animals stressed out of their fucking mind, you think they had the staff to have one person with each animal to make sure they were ok?

Well, in a system like I’m talking about, adding your server and storage space in the mix would make the whole thing more reliable and add to the storage capacity so more content can be hosted/backed up, just like paying for a second server to host a website allows to store more stuff and to start creating backups. You would still help build the community (the website), you just wouldn’t have an administrative role outside of the communities you would want to moderate.

You guys should have voted against that if that’s not what you wanted.

What is the incentive for people to host an instance at the moment?

What is the incentive for people to share files via peer to peer networks?

What is the incentive for people to host Minecraft servers?

Need me to go on?

If in your mind the only incentive that people have to host instances is to have power over it and its users then they’re exactly the kind of people you don’t want to see hosting instances.

Or you make it like a traditional website with an API used by people making frontends, but the backend (the database) is decentralized, just like regular websites but instead of having a bunch of servers owned by AWS it’s just a bunch of people providing storage space on their servers.

Man, it feels like you guys haven’t spoken to a real human in decades…

Man, people really do love their fireworks… Noise, light and pollution, Yay!

I wonder how many of you guys complain about cars for the same reasons…

Stress can cause vomiting, hell it can cause it in humans!

Split the non Republican vote so you leave the door wide open for them? That’s the problem with first past the post…

I’m surprised the altercation wasn’t just a woman assassinating him

I’m talking about Mastodon and Lemmy and such since that’s what OP is complaining about

All those federated platform will only become popular if the backend is dumb and the frontend is smart, i.e. you create your account on a frontend but can use the same credentials to connect via another frontend and no matter which frontend you connect to, all content for the platform is accessible to you, there’s no admin having control over your experience, only people offering different UI experiences. Federation/defederation/deciding to host NSFW content, that’s all taken care of behind the scene just like on Reddit, for the user they’re just using Lemmy via frontend X or Y and they decide what communities and users they want to block.

Did you read what I said and checked the website? It has one of the LOWEST income tax in Canada AND no sales taxes. That’s not even taking the basic exemption amount into consideration, with Alberta having the highest!

It doesn’t have high income taxes by any sane metrics. You can compare to US States where the government provides no services to the population at all but then people are just paying even more to the private sector instead.

Maybe the government will learn its lesson and not force RTO once it ends…

I have a theory. Facing the potential threat of an alien species is the only thing that could bring the human race together and actually make them stop fighting.

Where?

So you don’t mind if the rights of a minority are infringed upon? You realize it’s a way to control women? Marriage doesn’t need to be expensive either and a man wanting to put a ball and chain on a woman will force her to get married and she’ll be legally stuck with him for the rest of his life if no fault divorce is made illegal again. What about the 62 million married couples that already exist?

First generation seen moving left as it ages and a reverse tendency might be happening with the Z men while the Z women are much more left leaning. It might also be part of why Z men seem so much farther right, the women of their generation are much farther left than women of previous generations so the division is much more clear. In truth the men might not be much further right than men of previous generations were when it comes to the policies they agree with, we just didn’t pay as much attention to it back then…

Just some stuff they were talking about on the radio a few weeks ago…

They grew up with tech without understanding it, which is a big difference from millennials.
